Picked up a 2013 GS350 F Sport AWD
Well, I didn't just pick it up, had it for about 2 months now, but figured it was time to create an account and post.
Coming from an Subaru WRX STI, just wanted something a little more refined and luxurious, the car reminds me a lot of my 5 series.
Mods so far are cosmetic
Clear bra - front, door sills, handles, mirrors, rear
Black vinyl wrap trim - front, window surround and rear
Debadge and black out lexus emblem rear
Taillight red out amber and smoke reverse signal, smoke mirror turn signal
18% ceramic tint
Next
Tannabe springs, etc

OreoSlinky - Infiniti was asking too much? People usually buy Infiniti because they have the best value for money. Maybe in 2-3 years I'll buy the Q50S because it will have twin turbos and the correct Hydraulic steering.

Good job man! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get yours for? I bought mine used for about the same amount of miles. Awd tho no ML . I probably shouldn't care but I didn't get mine from a CPO. 2 of my rims are bent. One different tire from the others, scratches and dings outside and inside aluminum door panels oddly enough. Don't get me wrong I still love my car, I'm putting in the work and money to restore it back to new so I got some sense of pride in it but it is some hassle. Oh I also didn't have floor mats and only one key.
CPO Lexus
Free maintenance (I'm very happy my 60K service will be covered)
New tires
New brakes
Best dealership/customer service (it's important)
The bad:
Some scratches (tiny and insignificant)
Not as "quiet" as I would have hoped (Shin-etsu grease on my seals should help)
Leather needs cleaning/conditioning (just some elbow grease and a weekend)
The deal:
I don't want to say I got the car for free, but it was an awesome deal. I'm sure whatever you paid for the car was a fair deal. As long as you didn't get a lemon, be happy my friend!

New member here! I've been soaking up the great information on the site from so many knowledgeable and helpful members. I finally got my GS so I rushed to register.
Picked up a CPO '14 RWD with Luxury package, Starfire Pearl w/Flaxen and about 21k miles on it. Sure I would've loved to find one with a HUD but the luxury package is rare in these parts, especially in white -- my only Texas Certified car color, it gets real hot here.
Weather Tech floor & trunk mats already on the way along with my Covercraft accordion style sun shade. Next up will be to replace the low-grade tint with some good ceramic, then I'll be nice & cool.
p.s. trying to post again, previous post didn't seem to take.

Hey y'all. I finalized a deal on a 2013 GS305 AWD today. I pick it up Saturday.. pics coming soon. Finally left that Honda life.
FWIW, I also own a 1990 LS with 184k. It was my first car and I've been hooked on Lexus ever since.

Hello fellow GS owners, I recently picked up a 2014 Lexus GS350 F Sport with light brown interior and Dark Blue ext. Im coming from a 04 LS430, and so far there are lot of tech stuff that I notice in the GS that were present in the LS, but also alot of other features that are exclusive to the F sport package that I like. Looking to put on some sporty rims, if anyone has any suggestions or a thread that has just aftermarket wheels, please point me to that direction.

Hey guys. I just picked up a 13 GS350 AWD w/ Nav, Premium Pkg and Cold Weather Pkg. I traded in a 2010 Honda and the difference is outstanding. I am absolutely obsessed with this car. My first car was my moms old LS so I've had a thing for Lexus for a while. I was originally planning on buying an LS460 but wound up driving a GS and knew my search was over. I just dropped it off for tint, i'll upload more pics in a bit.

1. 2013 GS Premium
2. Obsidian with Flaxen
3. Nav no ML
4. AWD (a must in Ohio)
5. no DRS
6. nothing exotic it's my daily driver. Probably lowered with 20" for the summers.
7. Replaced my '06 IS350. No need to test drive anything else, definitely wanted the GS since it was release.
